Aussie Tenille Dashwood Becomes A US Citizen
Aussie Tenille Dashwood — known to many as former WWE Superstar Emma — has officially become a United States citizen. The Australian-born wrestler took to Instagram to share the news and reflect on her incredible journey.
Tenille posted the following via Instagram…
“As a kid, I dreamed of traveling to America and becoming a WWE Superstar. At 19, I moved overseas, leaving behind my family and everything I’d ever known to chase that dream. By 22, I signed my first WWE contract and moved to the U.S. on an entertainment visa. From there, I earned an extraordinary athlete visa, then a green card—all while working hard and living out my dream.
Along the way, I met my now-husband Mike, and we got married in Hawaii last year. And just this March, we welcomed our beautiful son into the world.
None of this would’ve been possible without the opportunity to live and work in this country. It truly feels like the American Dream.
P.S. I had a dream last night that I was shouting across the street, “It’s gonna be a good day!” — and it really, really is. ❤️
P.P.S my interview was back in February when I was still pregnant. My ceremony was supposed to be in March but Leo came early, so I finally got there today (3 months later) to get my certificate of citizenship!”
The former TNA Knockouts Tag Team champion last competed in Australia for Oceania Pro Wrestling in Ballarat in 2024 against PWDU 2024 Women’s wrestler of the year Jessica Troy.
Unfortunately for Australian fans her US citizenship means we may not see her wrestling in Australia regularly. World Series Wrestling and Melbourne City Wrestling are likely promotions to book the former WWE star in one off appearances going forward.
